GET Prepared
GET Prepared
In order to get started some preparation of your collection can help.
Assess your collection. Determine its size, what you need scanned and do some rough organisation.
Determine if you have any requirements to order or group your scans or a naming conventions. Also if you want us to organise it using archival grade sleeves and albums.
Take a photo of your collection so we have a visual on it before it arrives.
Get in touch with us so we can assess your collection and we can organise a way for it to get here and quote you on the finer details.
WHAT WE DO
WHAT WE DO
We follow strict protocols to ensure a clean and dust free working environment. Digitisation is done on site, ensuring your precious film will always be handled properly and every effort made to clean it as much as possible prior to digitisation.
We use calibrated and colour managed and equipment to ensure accurate assessment and correction of your images.
Crop, orientation correction and basic colour correction is performed on every scan.
As an option we can rehouse and organise your collection into a nice, neat and compact order using archival grade sleeves and albums so it can be stored neatly and safely after being digitised.
We will update you on the progress of the job and can supply samples of the job whilst it is completed.
We will let you know if any items in your collection could not be scanned or have suffered significant degradation / damage. Unfortunately negatives and prints are susceptible to damage which is extremely costly to repair and can sometimes result in loss of information. Due to this we do not offer a physical restoration services but can discuss digital restoration if it is a precious image that you want restored.
WHEN WE FINISH
WHEN WE FINISH
We will upload your images for access once finished or if it is a larger collection, supply us with a USB Drive or Hard Drive and we can store them on that. *alternatively we can arrange one for you.
We offer JPEG files for film and slide scans. We can offer TIFF files on request.
JPEG files are a great for printing and online sharing with family and friends. TIFF files are ideal long term archival and image editing but at cost of a larger file size. This can impact storage methods, loading times and ease of access. They are not suitable for online storage.
